Empowering Europe’s Digital Future
30-03-2026
The Code4Europe project, with the participation of Athena Research Center, aims to expand and strengthen digital education across Europe, building successes of EU Code Week. Its mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of digitally-savvy Europeans, ensuring that programming and tech skills are accessible to all.
Code4Europe aims to reimagine, revamp and relaunch EU Code Week. which is an international grassroots movement celebrating creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration through programming and tech activities. Supported by the European Commission, EU Code Week encourages participation from everyone, especially schools. It aims to demystify coding and motivate people of all abilities to learn.
To deepen the connection between the private sector and this mission, EU Code Week has launched the CSR Toolkit. This free, comprehensive guide is designed to help organizations of all sizes - from startups to large enterprises - turn Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into a driver of real and long-lasting impact for Europe’s digital future.
